Very much depends on your car colour!!

I'm the same - paint on mine is flaking off in places.

I'm thinking gold or white, but I think white would be a nightmare. My car is red.
Main thing is to do the job very well with a LOT of prep and the correct high temp paint. Doesn't matter what fancy colour you paint them if it's a botch job!

What car (and colour) do you have and what colour are your calipers at the moment?  :happy2:
